The vehicle is the actual air frame and the means to load the payload to its optimal position. The propulsion system has to be tailored according to the mission. The flight control system ensures the IUAS follows the pre-programmed or Ground Control Station.

'Thiel purpose of a IUAS is to collect or deliver data usually in a dull, dirty or dangerous environment, 'The payload is the most important element of the IUAS. 'The payload is responsible for collecting data and information during the flight time.

A GR'QUNID CON'TIR'Ot 5'TATIOIN is a land or sea based control center that provides the facllltles of controlling the unmanned vehicles lor rockets in the air or in space. And for this, the GCS must have secure communication system and air traffic management infrastructure.
